Weekend Maintenance Tip: Replace Your Refrigerator Door Gasket

Keep the Cold In & Costs Down with This Quick Fix

If you’re looking for a simple weekend task that makes a big difference in both performance and energy savings, this one’s for you: replace your refrigerator door gasket.

Why It Matters

That soft, flexible rubber seal around your fridge door? It’s called a gasket, and it plays a critical role in maintaining your appliance’s efficiency. Over time, it can dry out, crack, or loosen—allowing cold air to leak and your refrigerator to work overtime.

Signs Your Gasket Needs Replacing:

  • Door doesn’t seal tightly

  • Visible cracks or wear

  • You feel cool air escaping

  • Food not staying as cold

  • Increased energy bills

How to Replace Your Refrigerator Gasket

Time: 15–30 minutes
Tools: Just your hands (possibly a screwdriver depending on model)
What You’ll Need: A replacement gasket for your make and model

Step-by-Step:

  1. Inspect the current gasket – Look for damage or gaps.

  2. Remove the old gasket – Peel it away from the door gently.

  3. Clean the area – Wipe down the sealing surface for best adhesion.

  4. Install the new gasket – Start at the corners, press in place, and ensure an even seal all around.

  5. Let it settle – Close the door and allow the new gasket to mold into position.

✅ Pro Tip: Some gaskets are magnetized—no screws needed. If your fridge is older, you may need a screwdriver to loosen the liner.

The Weekend Win

This quick swap helps:

  • Prevent cool air leaks

  • Keep food fresher longer

  • Lower your energy usage

  • Extend your fridge’s lifespan
